Checking HP timing and the steam cross passage. Also checking the starter valve. Found the problem with it. The reach rod was .5mm too long. So removed and an extra bit of threading done and presto fully functional.

Then button up the LP side and she is running quite well.

Couple problems. Mech pump ram needs a polish to remove the squeak and the mech eccentric is still fouling the timing eccentric.

Hi tony I'm very pleased with what Lynn is doing and I can't wait to get priscilla home but I'm very worried to on making sure I run it right, my 2 boys are so happy with seeing the videos and what the engine is turning into be, it's not just sat in the shed and collecting dust

Been fettling things. Got the water pump and LP eccentrics to not be so cuddly and sit a bit further apart.Safety valves are off back to Steam Traction World for fettling and recalibration. The rear trumpet letting past with any pressure.

So no steam testing for a few days. Crystal might get a treat and have some attention lavished on her for a change. I did put all her plugs back in the other day so the only thing needed to get her in to steam is fit the pressure gauge again.

180psi Lynn that's good news ain't it, glad u had better weather there than here, storm Katie has been giving some of us some problems. Hope all ok other than the sight glass, really pleased of the progress 😃👍
